Re: Emergency Appeal

Thanks for signing! Let's move fast to make this one of the biggest calls to leaders the world has ever seen. Use the buttons to share with friends on social media, and forward the below email: FACEBOOK WHATSAPP Dear friends, Humanity is failing to stop the climate crisis. It's now beyond urgent -- the planet is screaming for help. Right now world leaders are meeting for historic climate talks -- but pledges without real action won't cut it anymore. We need bold, visionary leaders to finally do what's needed to pull us back from the abyss. I'll be at the talks with inspiring youth leaders like Vanessa Nakate and Dominika Lasota. We'll personally meet dozens of governments -- it's the perfect opportunity to deliver a giant call for urgent action. Join us now: add your name with one click and pass this on. Add my name To world leaders, "Betrayal." That's how young people around the world describe our governments' failure to cut carbon emissions. And it's no surprise. We are catastrophically far from the crucial goal of 1.5°C, and yet governments everywhere are still accelerating the crisis, spending billions on fossil fuels. This is not a drill. It's code red for the Earth. Millions will suffer as our planet is devastated -- a terrifying future that will be created, or avoided, by the decisions you make. You have the power to decide. As citizens across the planet, we urge you to face up to the climate emergency. Not next year. Not next month. Now: Keep the precious goal of 1.5°C alive with immediate, drastic, annual emission reductions unlike anything the world has ever seen. End all fossil fuel investments, subsidies, and new projects immediately, and stop new exploration and extraction. End 'creative' carbon accounting by publishing total emissions for all consumption indices, supply chains, international aviation and shipping, and the burning of biomass. Deliver the $100bn promised to the most vulnerable countries, with additional funds for climate disasters. Enact climate policies to protect workers and the most vulnerable, and reduce all forms of inequality. We can still do this. There is still time to avoid the worst consequences if we are prepared to change. It will take determined, visionary leadership. And it will take immense courage -- but know that when you rise, billions will be right behind you. Add my name It can feel incredibly hard to keep hope alive in the face of inaction. But my hope lies in people -- in the millions of us who are rising to save the future. It lies in our marches, in our dogged determination to keep fighting, and in our trembling voices as we speak truth to power. My hope is rooted in action and fuelled by a love for humanity and our most beautiful earth. It's what keeps me absolutely convinced that we can do this. And we must do this. Together.

Gaza hunger crisis

We all want the horror in Gaza to end. But it just got worse. While the world is focused on the war in Iran, Israel is throttling aid into Gaza again -- when 100,000 children are already facing acute malnutrition. And that doesn't just mean that children are going hungry. With acute malnutrition, the body actually starts eating itself -- first any fat stores, then the muscles and heart. Children wake up crying from starvation, and the smallest infection can become deadly. We have to do something -- and we know how. Across Gaza, farmers and community groups are racing to revive farmlands that Israel bombed in the genocide. Over 86% of farms were damaged, making Gaza almost entirely reliant on aid. But now community groups are fixing the greenhouses, irrigation lines, and water wells. They're growing tomatoes, aubergines, beans and yams -- already providing over 6,000 tons of fresh food. It takes $10 to grow about 25kg (55lbs) of vegetables. Imagine what they could do if thousands of us chipped in! Together we could help to revive broken food systems, building Gaza's resilience and helping families to survive, even as Israel tightens its grip again.  Your donation will go directly to trusted community groups in Gaza -- and you'll also be supporting Avaaz campaigns, working alongside Palestinians to protect children's futures. This is a chance to do more than respond to a catastrophe. It's an opportunity to help Gaza rise from the ashes, rebuilding what violence has tried to erase. Please donate what you can now:

Humanitarian aid can keep people alive in the short term -- but survival alone is not enough. Today Gaza is one of the most destroyed places on Earth. Farms, water systems, homes and clinics have been wiped out, leaving families almost entirely dependent on aid just to survive. There is another path, though. Across Gaza, community groups are beginning the slow work of rebuilding the foundations of daily life. With limited funding, they've already grown more than 6,000 tons of fresh food, repaired 17 greenhouses, and restored agricultural wells serving thousands of people. This work is still small compared to the scale of destruction. But the more we raise, the more community groups can do to revive Gaza's broken food system, helping families to reclaim a little more control over their future. If we raise enough together, we could: Help to rebuild Gaza's food systems -- funding community groups to rehabilitate damaged farmland, replant food crops, restore greenhouses and irrigation wells, and bring safe water back to communities; Support volunteer and neighbourhood groups, who are providing shelter, meals, and basic medical care to families who have lost everything; Power Avaaz campaigns in Palestine and around the world -- pushing to end the Israeli occupation and war in Gaza, working toward freedom, justice and dignity for all. Palestinians often talk about "sumoud" -- their unbreakable spirit of fierce resistance. Sumoud is how the families of Gaza, Hebron, Ramallah, and Jericho have endured for generations, planting seeds in the rubble of destruction. Today we have the precious opportunity of helping those seeds flourish again. Please donate what you can now: R$30 grows 12kg of food R$140 grows 60kg of food R$260 grows 120kg of food R$530 grows 240kg of food OTHER AMOUNT With endless hope and fierce determination, Christoph, Kaitlin, Fadi, Mike, Carmen, Ana Sofia and the whole team at Avaaz Note: In the photo above we see ten-year-old Nafiz in Al-Daraj, east of Gaza City. He is severely malnourished as Israel continues blocking food and medical supplies. Across Gaza, farmers and community groups are working to restore food security -- replanting vegetables, repairing wells, and tending olive groves so their communities can eat again. Supporting them means helping secure food and clean water for children like Nafiz, and turning fragile survival into lasting food security. PS. This might be your first donation to our movement ever.
